Reviews for Macomb County Humane Society

Do not give any money to this organization! Not sure how they are allowed to call themselves a 'humane society'. 4 of 5 adoptable cats are euthanized, over 60% of all animals brought there are euthanized. Many horror stories from volunteers, pet owners, and potential adoptees. I don't think the majority of people that give to this organization realize that it is an extremely high kill 'shelter', and one of the worst in the State.

This organization raised over $1 Million and only spent $300K on programming in 2013, less than 30 cents of every dollar donated goes to actual care, feeding, and euthanasia of animals. Meanwhile the Director is bringing down $70K + per year. Seems that the leadership would rather euthanize animals than help getting them adopted. This organization does nothing to proactively get animals adopted, they do not work with local rescue organizations, they do not even post pictures of adoptable pets on the web. (Not for lack of funding or willing volunteers.)

This place really needs to be investigated by all authorities from animal cruelty to mismanagement of funds. Should be shut down, cleaned up, and reopened under new management.
